Many believe that market economies create a dog eat dog
environment full of human conflict and struggle. Learn more:
http://lrnlbty.co/1izBCmC To Prof. Aeon Skoble, the competition
in markets does not create conflict, but rather, encourages people
to cooperate with one another for mutual benefit. For instance,
suppose a thief steals a suit from Macy's. If Macy's knew who the
thief was, one could argue that Macy's has an incentive to keep
this information from their competitors. By withholding information
about the thief, it would make it much less likely that thief would
get caught while robbing Macy's competitors. However, in the real
world, competitors share information about theft with one another,
creating a valuable information network. Competitors share
information because it is in all of their mutual interest to crack
down on theft. If a business chooses to ignore the information
network, they lose out on valuable information. The example above
is just one of many examples where competitors have a strong
incentive to cooperate with one another. In a certain way, we're
all merchants who trade with one another. We all individually
depend on networks of reputation and trust to own a car, own a
home, and have a job. In a world of competition and scarcity, we
are not only capable of cooperating with one another, but we
frequently do. These voluntary systems of social cooperation, often
called organic or spontaneous orders, are not planned from the top
down by enlightened rulers. Rather, they emerge overtime as
individuals interact with one another. These spontaneous orders are
all around us, and include important things like language, fashion,
internet memes, prices in a market, and law. Going back to the suit
thief, it may very well be the case that some individuals abstain
from crime because of the threat of jail. However, it is also very
likely that crime is prevented through networks of trust and
reputation. The next time you hear that the problems that society
faces can only be solved by applying force from the top down, you
are right to be skeptical. Peaceful and voluntary mechanisms that
encourage and facilitate cooperation are all around us. SUBSCRIBE:

Historian Stephen Davies names three persistent myths
about the Great Depression. Myth #1: Herbert Hoover was a
laissez-faire president, and it was his lack of action that lead to
an economic collapse. Davies argues that in fact, Hoover was a very
interventionist president, and it was his intervening in the
economy that made matters worse. Myth #2: The New Deal ended the
Great Depression. Davies argues that the New Deal actually made
matters worse. In other countries, the Great Depression ended much
sooner and more quickly than it did in the United States. Myth #3:
World War II ended the Great Depression. Davies explains that
military production is not real wealth.; wars destroy wealth, they
do not create wealth. In fact, examination of the historical data
reveals that the U.S. economy did not really start to recover until
after WWII was over. Watch more videos:

Are you equal to Hugh Jackman? Find out what Equality
really means in our society. Learn more:
http://lrnlbty.co/1izBCmC According to the Declaration of
Independence, we're all created equal. But Professor Aeon Skoble is
not as rich as Bill Gates, as tough as Vin Diesel, or as sexy as
Hugh Jackman. To Professor Skoble, the Declaration intends for us
all to be treated equal before the law. Put another way, we should
all have equal freedom to choose our own respective paths to
happiness as long as we do not infringe on the freedoms of others.
Treating people as equals means that we should show equal respect
for the choices they make. That means that, although we may
disagree with others, we should respect their preferences for jobs,
tv shows, music, etc... The legal system should show equal respect
for persons by respecting their rights equally, not by interfering
with the outcomes of people's choices. If we try to produce
equality in some other fashion, we will necessarily violate
people's freedom to choose.

Does destruction create jobs? After natural disasters,
terrorist attacks, and wars, some people argue that these disasters
are good for the economy, because they create jobs and prosperity.

http://bit.ly/1HVAtKP As Prof. Art Carden of Rhodes College
explains, this is an example of the "broken window fallacy," a term
coined by Frederic Bastiat. When a shopkeeper's window is broken,
he will spend money on a new window, which gives income and jobs
for glaziers. This activity is "seen," but the "unseen" is just as
important: the money spend on a new window could have been spent on
other things. Wealth has not increase, but only reallocated from
some people to others, and society is worse off by one
window.
